17th November 2011: NorthgateArinso (NGA), a leading provider in HR solutions, has today announced a seven year contract to provide a new HR and Payroll system for the Church of England.
Reaching more than 16,000 clergy and administrative staff across the UK, the system will include payroll and self service functions. Using NorthgateArinso’s web-enabled solution ResourceLink Aurora, it will bring together all People and Pay systems under one umbrella solution, allowing the Church of England to transform the way it works and provide greater flexibility while cutting costs.
ResourceLink Aurora will be used to improve the efficiency of the selection and training process for clergy, as well as acting as a database to produce the definitive directory of Church of England clergy, “Crockford’s”.
Andrew Brown, Secretary to the Church Commissioners and sponsor of the project said: “The new People and Pay System will offer up-to-date functionality and immediate access to high quality information. The Church of England selection team were unanimous in feeling that NorthgateArinso, through their thorough engagement with the team, had demonstrated a very clear understanding of the Church’s requirements, especially with regard to the Crockford’s database. This gives us the confidence that NGA can deliver a system which will meet our needs”.
The Church will gain a single point of access to hold data and, through increased use of eForms and self-service tools instead of paper, will be able to manage its People and Pay transactions in an environmentally friendly way. The integrated solution will also significantly improve the management reporting, strategy and decision making processes.
NGA Sales Director, Jonathan Legdon said: “NGA is delighted to have been chosen to work with the Church of England and deliver a truly transformational solution. Resourcelink Aurora has already had great success in every major vertical sector but, the Church of England brings with it a unique set of challenges and the team is very excited about taking this project on.”
